Adventitious.
When I was still at home Romulo told me in his most embarrassed way that my bike had been stolen. He had left it overnight somewhere that I wasn't very pleased about and when he got back it was no longer there. I was quite pissed about it, to be completely honest. However, a half hour later and some choice words, then a conversation with my mother the next day later, I was feeling better. He offered to buy me a new bike and yesterday I finally took him up on it. I picked out this bright yellow and flashy bike that was about the cheapest that the store had. I could have really gouged him, and he would have taken it, but I didn't feel like torturing him anymore. I do like this bike though. It's like look into the sun yellow, with a yellow hard seat, and yellow rims. Subtle, it is not. And I'm good with that, as long as it doesn't make people go "I want that bicycle..." The store has sold several models of the bike in the last couple of days, so I could find someone else with the same bike, but that's alright. It was pretty damn cheap, after all.
I have been in Ames for a week. What have I done? I don't even know. I bought two text books online. I sold two and maybe a third. I unpacked Romulo's clothes and hung them up. I did the same to mine. I made dinner a few times. Went grocery shopping twice in one day. Nearly overstayed my boyfriend's welcome and am afraid we will kill each other if I spend much more time here. It is hard to believe a week ago we were crazy for each other and now we grumble about as much as we talk civilly. And it isn't him, it's me, I'm the impatient one. He isn't even as uncomfortable as I am. Hopefully this feeling will pass once I can move into my apartment and my friends come back into town. Hopefully.
I have finally got into The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It took long enough, like, say, half the book, but it got interesting. I almost finished it yesterday, but now I only have about thirty pages left. If I can get some time without being asked to come pick him up or something, I just might get it finished.
Otherwise, thank god it's Thursday!
